I have Ghost installed on a generic 120GB SSD with ZFS. I had some problems with the original motherboard, I believe with the chip set. I'm now running an ASUS F1A75-M PRO/CSM with an AMD A8-3870 processor and 6GB of DDR3 RAM, and it installed easily with ZFS and runs fine. I"m also using a IOGEAR K...

So, after some BIOS adventures, I installed another mother board, this time an Intel DH55TC with a 4-core i5 and 4 GB of DDR3. Ghost installed easily with ZFS on the SSD, updated, and runs fine. My apologies for the fuss, and thanks for walking me through the trouble shooting!

Okay. This problem isn't showing up elsewhere (thanks, Eric, for that insight, it's key) and the system ran well for a while. That sounds like hardware, chip set? i installed an Intel DH55TC i5 mother board (which I found has its own problems, won't auto boot from an SSD, which is one known problem,...

When I initially put up the post, Ghost ignored my newer boot background, reverted to the original one on the iso, and kept flickering. Eventually, it self corrected to the point of booting to the MAT...

I can boot to the login screen on MATE, but when I proceed to open the desktop, I get the desktop background with a one inch black line on the top that shows what looks like multiple small pages of text. Eventually, the s...

So..I'm embarrassed, but maybe this will help someone else. My problem turned out to be hardware. When i tried to reboot to provide Powerwagon with my package information, the system wouldn't boot correctly: wrong desktop background, no toolbar, wiggling icons. I bought and installed a PNY SSD, rein...

So, at the end of my efforts above, Update Station told me that there were updates. So I updated, rebooted, and tried again. All was the same. So I uninstalled and reinstalled Clementine, mate-terminal, and Firefox. Clementine now works, so that's progress. But mate-terminal will not; when I try to ...
